No one warns you about THIS in sobriety...
One of the things I struggled with in the beginning of sobriety was the abundance of time. My days basically doubled when I quit drinking, and it was really hard to fill my time when I was SO bored, yet also hyper and restless.What was once a burden on my life is now my favorite part about life!!

Managing stress in sobriety

alcoholics love instant gratification
A lot of times, our "addiction" is not to alcohol itself, but rather the need for dopamine and comfort. We're addicted to saying yes to something that will bring immediate joy/ pleasure.

Alcohol doesn’t actually give you restful sleep -it sedates you. It can keep you in lighter, fragmented sleep and reduce REM, the stage where your brain restores mood and energy.So if you wake up at 3am or feel groggy every morning, alcohol may be part of the reason. Removing it often helps your sleep regulate again -and better sleep improves almost everything!OSEA's Dream Collection: https:/
